Chapter 995 - 904: One-Sided
The direction of online comments changed.The loyal fans of Mo’s Film, who had been quiet like turtles before, finally found a place to vent. Towards the end of the war of words, the truth already didn’t matter; everyone was arguing for their own position. All for one thing, I’m right, and anyone who disagrees with me is wrong.
But objective facts can differ from people’s subjective views. Some people disappear and hide in the intense scolding battles, while others become braver as they argue.
Xiao Zhang is one of them.
Xiao Zhang is a copywriter at a small advertising company. She doesn’t have many hobbies except watching movies and scrolling through Weibo, occasionally participating in some anime-related events. Suddenly, someone recommended a movie to her, she watched a bootleg version online and thought it was very well-made. She isn’t a professional and can’t describe it with keywords, but certain scenes in the movie stubbornly replayed in her mind, making it hard for her to let go.
She vigorously praised the movie, posted it on QQ Space, shared it on WeChat Moments, and never stopped talking about "Qin Dynasty Chronicles" with her colleagues, earning the nickname of being "poisoned" by the movie.
But when she talked about the movie with her boyfriend, she was accused by him of having twisted morals—"Emphasizing forbidden pseudo-father-son romance, are you a pervert?"
Xiao Zhang felt wronged by the insults and couldn’t sleep all night. Soon after, she saw a small video spreading crazily online and sent the link to her boyfriend, proudly telling him, "You called the movie a forbidden pseudo-father-son romance and called me a pervert! Let me tell you the truth."
Her boyfriend quickly replied, "Since Qin Dynasty isn’t about forbidden pseudo-father-son romance, why does the official promotion lean towards that direction?"
Xiao Zhang sneered, "Can’t you see? Clearly, your goddess is jumping around in it. Who was the pure goddess crazily tagging other stars some time ago? Who was the person being criticized nationwide during the tour?"
Her boyfriend said, "Talk about the issue, why insult a celebrity? I never realized you were so petty. Also, very unreasonable."
Xiao Zhang was utterly enraged, "Who’s petty? Who’s unreasonable? You just can’t stand me saying anything bad about your goddess. Since she’s more important to you than I am, OK, go find your goddess, and don’t contact me anymore."
Her boyfriend was stunned.
Xiao Zhang harshly said, "Break up, decisively break up."
Blocked and deleted.
The boyfriend and Xiao Zhang had a solid relationship foundation, had already met each other’s parents, and planned to get married by the end of the year. Now, breaking up over someone and something unrelated? The boyfriend felt it was absurd, and remembering that a good man doesn’t fight with a woman, he came to the advertising company with flowers to seek Xiao Zhang’s forgiveness.
Xiao Zhang said the breakup was just an impulsive reaction, and she regretted it after calming down. Seeing her boyfriend lowering his posture, she went along with it. She accepted the flowers, only to hear someone say, "Oh my, so the director made a favor for Qin’s Film, that’s just disgusting."
The person spoke casually, without knowing the impact of those words on Xiao Zhang and her boyfriend, causing emotional turmoil.
The boyfriend laughed and said, "What’s happening online has nothing to do with us."
Xiao Zhang felt the flowers were an insult to her, coldly asking, "What’s happening online has nothing to do with us, who does it have to do with? Yin Xue’er? Why don’t you go find her..."
Xiao Zhang threw the flowers at her boyfriend’s face and ran out crying.
Her boyfriend lost face in front of everyone, cursed as he threw the flowers away and left.
Xiao Zhang cried for a long time in a secluded place, unable to cry anymore, wiped away her tears, returned to the company, washed her face, and reapplied makeup. When she checked Weibo again, she found hot searches were again dominated by the young director.
The person who posted the small video spoke up.
"I am just a friend of the young director. I really admire his style of filmmaking. Knowing that he was appreciated by Qin Miaomiao, I was very happy for him. Especially since his new movie was praised by Qin Miaomiao. When the two of us were invited by Qin Miaomiao to the President’s Office, I recorded the video to commemorate this historic moment for him, not expecting it would be slandered."
